The geophysical inverse method based on Quantum Monte Carlo
基于量子蒙特卡罗的地球物理反演方法

Quantum Monte Carlo method(QMC),including variational Monte Carlo(VMC),Green's function Monte Carlo(GFMC),diffusion Monte Carlo(DMC)and path integral Monte Carlo(PIMC),is a stochastic method based on the quantum mechanics.This paper,firstly,gives a brief summarization about the development of quantum Monte Carlo method and expatiates its principles;then does some model tests,which show that the using of quantum Monte Carlo method for geophysical inverse problems is successful,and its algorithm is also acceptable for some other nonlinear optimization problems;lastly,gives a perspective on the using of quantum Monte Carlo method for geophysical inversion,and points out its shortcomings.
